Education
Education is a focal ministry at Augustana. We begin at baptism with parenting material for families with children three years of age and younger, and continue with organized Sunday school classes for preschoolers through adults. Age-appropriate bibles and teaching materials are used for all studying the Scriptures and Lutheran faith.

Sunday School is held from 9:50 a.m. to 10:50 a.m., from September through May.
First Communion classes for children and their parents run annually for four weeks (usually in the first quarter of the year).
Vacation Bible School provides youth a chance to learn and interact with kids from other churches in the NE Portland area.
Confirmation Class is a regular part of our teaching time for 7th and 8th graders. They meet every Sunday morning. Please contact the church office if you would like more information.
Youth Group is for Augustana members and their friends who are in grades 7 to 12. The first half of the year, the Youth Group focused its efforts on going to the 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering which was held in New Orleans in July. In addition to fund raising, the Youth Group will have occasional social and educational gatherings. These events are announced in the weekly bulletin.
New Member classes offer instruction to those seeking to join the church. Members are offered small catechisms, bibles and the companion “The Bible Made Easy”.
Adult Forum includes bible studies, a monthly book group with food and fellowship, and discussion of relevant current issues.
The Education Committee meets monthly on Council night (Tuesday), and all are welcome to attend a meeting or join the committee.
